To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you as a committed recycler and concerned resident. Recycling is an issue that is
close to my heart. However, it is also something that affects all of us. Recycling gives our resources
another life which helps protect the environment.
Unfortunately, I have noticed that there is no bottle bank in my neighbourhood.I am therefore writing to ask if you would be willing to install one. It is something that would benefit
the whole community.Yours sincerely,

Why is wine stored in glass?
Glass bottles remain the best choice for wine lovers. New research showed that 94% of consumers in France prefer glass wine bottles over other packaging materials, such as bag-in-box. But why is it that we think of glass when we think of wine? Or why do we often store them horizontally? And are wine bottles sustainable?
What glass can you recycle?
More people than ever are recycling and we couldn’t be happier – as the glass industry, we love to be able to use recycled glass when we manufacture new containers. However, not all varieties can be used in production.
#EndlessCycle: How does recycling glass help protect the environment?
Have you ever wondered how glass is recycled? What happens to your used glass after you’ve put it into the bottle bank? The good news is that every single one of us can make a difference.
